We53 sent this Revelation to Moses: "Set forth with My servants during the night and make for them a dry path across the sea.54 Have no fear of being overtaken nor be afraid (while passing through the sea)." Pharaoh pursued them with his hosts but the sea overwhelmed them completely.55 Pharaoh had misled his people and had not guided them aright.56 O children of Israel,57 We rescued you from your enemy and fixed a time for your attendance on the right side of Tur,58 59 and sent down manna and salva to you.60 Eat of the pure provision We have given you and do not transgress after this; otherwise My wrath will visit you. And he who is visited by My wrath is bound to perish except the one who repents and believes and does righteous deeds and then follows the straight path, for I am very forgiving for such a one.61 "And Moses,62 what has hastened you to come here before your people?"63 He said, “They are just coming behind me: I have hastened to come before Thee, O my Lord, so that Thou mayst be pleased with me.” He said, “Well, listen! We put your people to a trial after you and the Samiri64 has misled them.” Moses returned to his people in a state of anger and grief. Reaching there, he said, "O my people, did not your Lord make good promises with you?65 Had a long time passed since those promises were fulfilled?66 Or did you want Allah's wrath to come down upon you that you went against your Covenant with me?"67 They answered, "We did not go against the Covenant with you of our own accord; it so happened that we felt burdened with the ornaments of the people and we merely threw them down.68 Then69 the Samiri also put down something like these and forged the shape of a calf which lowed like an ox. Then the people cried out, “This is your god and the god of Moses. Moses has forgotten it.” Did they not see that it did not respond to their prayer nor had it any power to hurt and benefit them?
